Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine fit my 1911 pistol chambered in .40 S&W?
This MEC-GAR magazine is specifically designed to fit full-size 1911 Government model pistols chambered in .40 S&W. It is compatible with most standard Government-frame 1911s from manufacturers such as Colt, Springfield Armory, Rock Island Armory, and others that adhere to standard 1911 dimensions. It is not intended for Officer or Commander-size frames, which have shorter grips and require a different magazine length.
Is 8 rounds the legal capacity limit for California, and is this magazine compliant?
California law restricts magazine capacity to a maximum of 10 rounds. This MEC-GAR magazine holds 8 rounds, which falls within the state's legal limit, making it compliant for purchase and use in California. Always verify your local and municipal regulations, as rules can vary and change over time.
What are the advantages of a nickel-finished magazine over a standard blued steel magazine?
Nickel plating provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional blued steel, making it an excellent choice for humid climates or for magazines stored in carry holsters where sweat and moisture exposure is common. The slick nickel surface also reduces friction, which can contribute to smoother cartridge feeding and easier cleaning. Aesthetically, the bright nickel finish is a popular choice for stainless-finish 1911 pistols.
